Opportunity Summary:
The State Certified Local Government Coordinator Training Scholarships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00277) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on strengthening historic preservation efforts at the local level. Its core purpose is to support and expand the effectiveness of local preservation commissions by funding and organizing training opportunities tied to the Federal Certified Local Government (CLG) program. In practical terms, the agreement sets up a task-based partnership between the National Park Service and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) to deliver structured, recurring professional development for the people who coordinate CLG programs in their states.
The main program activity is the delivery of bi-annual State Certified Local Government Coordinator Training. These trainings are designed to build consistent knowledge and skills among state-level CLG coordinators, improve administration of the CLG program, and reinforce best practices that local commissions rely on to review and guide preservation work in their communities. Alongside the training component, the effort also aims to promote awareness and engagement with the Federal CLG program more broadly, which typically involves helping local governments understand how to participate and how to run preservation programs that meet federal and state standards.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The funding activity category is education, reflecting that the main deliverable is training and capacity-building rather than construction or direct preservation of a specific site. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.946, which aligns it with historic preservation assistance and related federal support.
The maximum expected funding amount (award ceiling) is listed as $25,000, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. Eligibility, as stated in the source information, is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), which is somewhat unusual compared to many federal opportunities that explicitly target 501(c)(3) organizations. The named partner for implementation is the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, a national organization that supports local preservation commissions through training and technical assistance.
This posting is not an open solicitation. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent only, and no applications are being accepted. The task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P14AC00726) that was already awarded through a competitive process. The creation date for the notice is June 23, 2016, and because it is not open for competition, there is no application window for new applicants.
